What a sea change Science has brought in our lives! We can postpone death as for our wish. We can decide birth time and date of a child according to our will and pleasure. But all this could be done only by privileged ones.

A patient is lying in the hospital in coma and sons are in US and UK. Doctors had already given up hope and the patient is kept alive only with the aid of life saving gadgets. As soon as they will be removed the patient will die. As for the wishes of the family the status queue is maintained till the sons arrive. Though a pathetic situation it gives some consolation to the concerned persons. At least the sons could see their beloved father once.

There was a time when c-section was conducted in hospitals for highly complicated cases and in emergency. Now some of the hospitals use this for money making. Even some women who do not want to undergo the painful and tedious natural process prefer this. Both the ones who are compelled to have c- section due to complications and those who opt for it on their own choose a day and time after consulting the astrologer.

Does it mean that humans had out beaten God’s will? :notthatway:: I strongly believe even these things also happen according to His wish only. A person entering the world and his departure from this world is determined by Him only. The doctor has been used as an instrument in His hands.

I agree with you everything has become so advanced but nothing happens without God's will. He has already written about birth and death. True now a days C section has become very common. Earlier after C section they were not allowed to move for a week but now on the second day only they are asked to start walking.

Whether people believe in God or not, they do seem to believe in stars and planets!l Fixing the muhurtam for C-section. I think we are increasingly becoming more and more insecure bout everything and plunging deeper and deeper into superstition.

Dear PS
I am a staunch believer. Like a child that believes that the Tooth Fairy has left a gift for it every time it lost a tooth, I attribute everything that happens around me to the Divine Will. A doctor performing a C-section may appear that 'humans had out beaten God's will' but the very fact of the girl getting pregnant in the first instance is very much Divine Will. Ask any childless mother and she'll agree with it wholeheartedly.

My first daughter was struck with viral meningitis when she was just four months' old. She became very critical and the Doctors gave her only 10% chance of a survival and they cautioned me that even if she survived, she would be crippled. I rushed her to a Child Specialist by name Dr.Bopiah in Wilson Garden in Bangalore where I was working at that time. Dr.Bopiah cured her and she did not suffer any ill effects of the dreadful disease. When the child was discharged from St.Philomena's Hospital, Dr.Bopiah went to Tirupathi to fulfill his vow that he had taken for my daughter. When I asked him about it, he said that all the three earlier cases with viral meningitis that he attended were dead and my daughter survived miraculously. He just went to offer his prayerful gratitude to Tirupathi.

Very rightly said. If these people choose to go in for C-sections or to extend the last breath, it is only because there was a Greater Plan for this to happen. Without a God given brain, we would not have been able to develop technology, with technology we would not have been able to achieve the above results. That a human being chose one alternative over the other (C-section over natural birth or extending life artificially over natural death) is proof of the intelligence and power of decision that human kind was gifted. That other factors such as mechanical failure, power failure etc did not occur at the crucial moments are further evidence of the Divine Will.

Atleast God has given brains to humans to do good and bad things. Good things like controlling the birth of delivery, prediction of nature calamity, brain dead patients for to end their life and so on to name a few. But in other side, his technology innovation is causing more and more natural disasters.
Finally even he also turns towards nature to save him.

PS..
no matter how much Man tries to imitate God.. and the almighty lets him believe that also.. and then when he wishes he pulls the strings and makes sure all the pre-planned events flop and in the end MAN declares it as the will of GOD...
how much ever we plan the birth in advance anything can happen.. often the water breaks or the baby is in wrong position etc and the scheduled delivery takes places earlier..
there have been enough cases of people on ventilators who improve all of a sudden and postpone their death.. or like wise deteriorate to the extent that no life support can help..
so its all yet in the hands of the almighty HE just makes us believe that we can control destiny so that HE can have a good laugh at our expense!!

Dear Viji,
Thanks for coming in and posting the first fb.
Whatever man has created is based on the creation of God only. He has not created anything out of nothing.
Not only after c-section surgery, almost after almost all surgeries patients are asked to start walking after 2/3 days if they are not kept in ICU.
Love,

Dear Balaji,
Even those who claim to be pakuththarivuvathikal (rational thinking people) secretly consult astrologers. When people feel insecure they will try all means to get rid of the insecure feeling.
Thanks for dropping in and posting your comments,
